ok so here's about as much info as i can give about this place as i can think of and can actually tell you guys...... we have mraps here that are pos's and are always getting fixed so i should be able to get ahold of some of those parts there's very limited electricity thats source is generators we have afghan national army guys on the compound with us so i may be able to talk to one of them about getting somethin from the locals for fuel there's alot of scrap metal laying around but the only thing i can think of thats big enough to use off the top of my head are fence pickets (the big steel green ones) there are also scrap pieces of tin roofing layin around idk if those can be used we have a fire pit made out of cinder blocks i can prob get ahold of or at least borrow quite a bit of tools from our civilian maintenance contractor i can probably get ahold a TON of brass casings so if those can be used for anything let me know please ordering anything isnt really an option considering mail if we ever get it takes way way way too long lol and lastly that i can think of there is a TON of rocks and dirt everywhere so a hole in the ground might not be a bad idea thats bout as much as i can give atm hopefully this helps and thank you all for your responses

I don't quite understand this whats kaolin

thanks only prob dont really know how imma get ahold of a hair dryer lol or power to run it i'm usin the extra time i got up here to try and find out if anybody's come up with some kinda way to make a good way to infil air that doesnt use power or anything i know its gonna be kinda a pain but i gotta use what i got lol hole in the ground with piping is prob what i'll do though now just gotta figure that last part out lol air and what kinds of random metal i could use as well

so here's the deal i'm deployed to afghanistan atm and this is something i've always been pretty interested in but do not know alot about. I would like to make a forge and start messin around to pass time here when i'm not getting shot at lol. I'd like to know if there's anyway to make one with very limited tools and resources. As well I would also like some ideas on what kinda materials i can use. Off the top of my head only things i can think of that might be of use are bricks (that i dont even think are clay) tons of rocks of every shape and size and for metal really all i know of is random pieces of iron, steel fence pickets and i could prob get ahold of some steel from indirect shrapnel dk bout that one though. Any ideas or advice from anyone will be very much appreciated. thanks ps- it also limits me cause i'm not usually where i can get mail so that makes it that much worse lol
